Will and Jake Grimm are traveling con-artists who encounter a genuine fairy-tale curse which requires true courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms.
Gilliam's tradition of brutalising cats for laughs (see Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)) is continued by Cavaldi's encounter with the kitten in the dungeon.
Sister Grimm:
Mama, it's so cold.
Mother Grimm:
It's very, very cold. Will. Put another log on the fire, lad.
Young Will:
There isn't any more firewood, Mama.
When the Grimm Brothers reach Karlstadt, they tell the guard they came from "Kassel, near Frankfurt." Kassel is about 200 km from Frankfurt, while Karlstadt is about 100 km from Frankfurt.
Terry Gilliam and Tony Grisoni are credited as "Dress Pattern Makers", a reference to their uncredited rewrite of Ehren Kruger's script.
